Digital infrastructure company Equinix is arming more than 100 of its data centres in more than 45 metros around the world, including Sydney and Melbourne, with advanced liquid cooling technologies like direct-to-chip to accommodate AI intensive workloads.
Businesses will benefit from the expansion, Equinix says, allowing them to use more performant cooling technologies for hardware that supports compute-intensive workloads like artificial intelligence (AI).
In a statement, Equinix explained how direct-to-chip works.
It involves a cold plate sitting on top of the chip inside the server. The cold plate is enabled with liquid supply and return channels, allowing technical cooling fluid to run through the plate, drawing heat away from the chip. Full Story and Source
